I already have front and rear racks in my parts bin and I have a couple of nice sets of Honjo fenders that I picked up on clearance, not sure if I will go with the hammered or smooth set. I'm excited!

I sure wouldn't but that Panasonic below a Miyata, you got a great mid level bike, some Schwinn mid level touring bikes were rebadged Panasonics. The one you found is a very nice looking bike, congrats.
